Now I'm also asked for a short entry, an intro, my location, an author, and an image, and some alternate image text. It would be good if there was some information on what the new fields are used for (by fsfe.org and by feed aggregators), and some information on whether it's ok to ignore these fields (like the way many forms put an asterisk beside mandatory fields). The formatting toolbar has also disappeared. This is good for me because I always switch to html mode, but others might want it.
